sky7 19 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 When I submit suspicious file/ undetected malware to ESET I compress the file into rar archive, and password protect it with the password “infected”Is it time to change password "infected"? Goolge Gmail can scan password protected archive files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Interesting thing what you found out. Have you also tried this with a zip archive? And maybe another password such as " " (one space), "virus" or "malware"? BTW: If you don't want to test this all with a real malware you can also use the harmless eicar testfile.

rugk 397 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) OK that's strange. But thank you for your testing. BTW I can also recommend this topic. There it's talked about a similar "problem": Eset, Are You Cracking Passwords? Edited August 10, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
